Editor’s Opinion: If you’re heading to Florida, might as well add this small cruise to your itinerary. At 3-4 nights, it doesn’t take much of your time, and is cheaper than any hotel on the mainland. Plus you get to explore the Bahamas and relax with free food and entertainment.
The Route
These are 3- or 4-night cruises that depart from Miami, spend 2 days at the Bahamas (Nassau and Ocean Cay) and then return to Miami. The 4-night cruises also have a full day at sea.
The Ship
The MSC Seaside, introduced in 2017, is one of MSC’s Seaside-class ships and carries around 4,100 passengers. Its design is noticeably different from much of the rest of the fleet, with a focus on bringing people closer to the water through wide waterfront promenades, lots of outdoor seating, and low-slung open decks. It feels more like a modern resort with an emphasis on open-air space rather than a towering, enclosed ship.
The public areas include a large central atrium with bars and entertainment, several lounges, and a theatre for nightly shows. Outside, the ship offers multiple pools, including one perched at the aft with excellent wake views, along with hot tubs, sun decks, and a mix of quiet corners and lively activity zones. There’s a water park with slides and rope-course elements, but also calmer areas for those who prefer a slower pace.





Dining is a mix of MSC’s main restaurants, a buffet, and several for-fee specialty venues. The layout spreads the options around the ship rather than concentrating everything in one area, which helps keep spaces from feeling too crowded. Bars and cafés are positioned both indoors and outdoors, so passengers can spend plenty of time in open air if they prefer.
Cabins range from basic interior rooms to suites and the more private Yacht Club area, which adds dedicated facilities and a quieter environment. Overall, MSC Seaside offers a more outdoors-oriented take on MSC’s usual style. Still unmistakably MSC in atmosphere, but with a layout that suits warm-weather cruising and passengers who enjoy spending much of their time outside.
